Snap Circuits Challenge Time

I teach Snap Circuits multi-day camps and multi-week sessions and the students have been BEGGING for a challenge-only class. Any Snap kits are welcome! Students are welcome to use their manuals as a guide, but I will not be teaching from the book. If you are looking for a methods class, please see the various multi-day Snap Circuit classes I offer. 

In this challenge course, students are expected to come to class with any and all Snap Circuit pieces ready to go by their computers. I will facilitate challenge after challenge. Some are timed, some are skill-builders, some focus on engineering strategies, but all of them are fun and immensely creative. Students will enjoy showing the teacher as well as their classmates what circuits worked, what did not, and why. 

Expect to be challenged. Potential examples of Fun Friday projects are as follows:
- Build a circuit that uses the following four Snap pieces: ______, _______, _____, and ________
- Race to build the BIGGEST circuit. Yes, all pieces must work (lights should illuminate, noise boxes should make sounds, etc.)
- 3-min countdown to build a double-decker circuit
- 5-min race to construct the most complex circuit you can think of
- Criss-cross your pieces. They can't touch but everything must work.
